Road into Red Rocks

I like the skies and the overall composition but my brain keeps wanting a little more contrast in the lower parts of the frame. If this were mine I would be highly inclined to remove the road sign we are seeing the backside of here. That sign really pulls my eyes away from the rest of the ground level scene.

I like the biker in the image Larry. That's a great road shot.

And before I read Alan's comments I was already going to mention about removing that sign. The eye goes to the brightest part of a scene automatically, so the eye goes to that sign like a magnet.

Hi Alan and Jim I took your advice and reprocessed the file and made the changes you suggested.

Up dated file processing by removing the bright road sign and the bright rocks next to the road.

Alan and Jim above is the modified image. taking out the roadsign and bright rocks that were a major distraction. Any comments?

The edits help a lot - this makes the ground level part of the scene stand out quite a bit more.
